The test bank provides you with a diverse range of pre-written options as well as the opportunity for editing any question and/or inserting your own personalized questions to effectively assess students’ progress and understanding.

Research methods and statistics inform each other as a research question is answered to help students understand how design and statistics work together.

A focus on the most commonly used statistical procedures allows more time for covering the basics that students are most likely to use in their own work, including multiple regression and two-way ANOVA.

Examples are based on recent empirical publications to demonstrate how research in psychology is reported.

A wealth of information on writing in APA style, including example papers, common mistakes, and helpful pointers, appears in Appendix C.

SPSS screenshots in each example help students analyze results in a visually effective manner.

An engaging and helpful pedagogical partner, Tal, appears throughout the book to clarify and highlight key points. Tal helps make intimidating material feel approachable, and sometimes even entertaining, for students learning research methods and statistics.
